Depending on trades this could be different obviously. I however, do not think anything will happen to this pitching staff. Not at least on opening day. Also, I hope Brian Price can turn around Harang. The weight loss helped at first, but then he lost it again. We shall see.

Re: 2010 Rotation and Bullpen

Maloney deserves a shot as #5. He was not bad last year. We have a boatload of possible #5s. But he is my first option. We have several good young pitchers. It has been a long time since someone could say that.

I agree, and not that Lehr is young, but he could push for that spot perhaps as well. He is more of a good emergency plan to me.

Re: 2010 Rotation and Bullpen

I think Krebs could replace Burton, Viola or Fisher. Know he hasn't seen the big time yet, but he has succeeded everywhere he has been. Must throw a good sinker because he has a hoigh ground ball ratio. Anybody think he has a shot or will he even get an invite to Spring training.
